mako

Lightweight Wayland notification daemon implementing the FreeDesktop Notifications Specification, for Sway.

Desktopfreeglobal

A lightweight notification daemon for Wayland that implements the FreeDesktop Notifications Specification and targets Sway and other wlroots-based compositors, providing a minimal alternative to heavier desktop notification systems for users running lean window-manager setups. It activates automatically via D-Bus when notifications are emitted (or can be launched on Sway startup) and is distributed as open-source software under the MIT license.
